[QUOTE="ciaran00, post: 1190535, member: 12493"] I doubt that calling someone a jerk is all that extreme. I understand "community spirit" too, but I think that looking up Tools -> Options is not all that nonintuitive. It's my chance to "vent" if you will. Have an agreed-upon read-only template. Also, in any chunk in Word, you can remove formatting completely. Having keyboard shortcuts for predef'd styles to reapply to unformatted chunks allows you to reverse their errors. (A) You should have all these options turned off on YOUR copy of Word. (B) You can remove any and all formatting / apply a default style on any chunk without having to cut and paste (or anything else). If the doc itself is corrupted (you may not be talking about this), god help you. Damn it. Now I want it. What gets me worked up is Word's inability to direct text AROUND tables (of course it can easily do this for images). This is the single reason why I have to keep turning to InDesign2. Unfortunately ID2 can't do all the neato scripting that Word can......... ciaran [/QUOTE]
